I played timpani on this piece in high school. What an epic piece of music! Too bad my music program in my high school was trash and we could barely fudge our way through it. I always wanted to perform this piece with an ensemble of talented, dedicated musicians. That day never came for me.
Really came through with a beautifully somber tone quality. Really enjoyed the cadenza and again, the beautiful tone which shined through in the second movement. Really crisp with the 16th notes and superb control in the upper register. This is a challenging piece, but well performed! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Playing this piece next Saturday. I noticed something weird while listening to this rendition with the score at hand: from 26:42 on (bar 11) and after 29:28 (bar 60) in Paradiso: The mallet player is playing a dotted 8th Bb and 16th C instead of a 16th Bb and dotted 8th C. I wonder if this was intended or a weird fluke noone noticed during practice, because it gives a whole different vibe (percussionist pun right here) to that piece.
I was in Florence, the birthplace of Dante, today and hearing this. While I was approaching the Piazza di Santa Corce and I saw the great monument of Dante, this segment 29:44 was playing in my headphone. Gave me goosebumps!
